What I Know Parents always want the best for their children. I know what its like to have parents that have high expectations of you. I love my family with all my heart but sometimes I feel like the pressure is all on me. Growing up to where I am today was tough but I wouldn't change a thing about it. I have three sisters (all older than me) who weren't the best daughters to my parents.
To start off , my oldest sister is probably the best role model for me. She graduated high school , went to community college and got a well paying job. My parents probably want me to follow her foot steps but take an extra step to go to a university.
On the other hand my second oldest sister didn't do so well. You know how in some families there's that rebel child ? Well that was her. A couple years ago when she was in high school she hung out with the “bad crowd” and she rebelled. She ended up not graduating high school, which in fact was the biggest mistake of her life. Now that she regrets it . The good thing though is that she plans to go back to school.
My third oldest sister disappointed my parents. During her high school years she got pregnant.My parents were full of mixed emotions when they found out she was pregnant. She had to drop out of high school for a couple months to recover. Personally, I am very proud of her because even though she made a mistake and had to drop out of high school only for a while, she went back and graduated. Now she is enrolled in community college to get back on her studies
By now, you may think my life is full of problems and disappointments, but in reality it isn't. I am happy with the way my life is and I wouldn't change a single thing.Every family has their own problems and these were mine. I feel like my parents pressure me because they want whats best for me. I dont mind though, because I want whats best for me too . My parents have high expectations of me because they don't want me to do the same mistakes as my sisters. At the end of the four years at Foothill and hopefully get accepted to a college/university, I know my parents will be proud of me. Not that they aren't proud of how far I've come in life because i know they are.
